It's done! It's heavy and I killed my wrist and hand crocheting it but I think I sorta like it. It falls in the yum/yuck category for sure. A great stash busting project and it came together pretty quick. I ripped 1.5-2 inch strips. 12mm crochet hook. Magic loop to start. Single crochet around i...

The awesomeness that is Jodie is hosting a rag rug along. I saw the girls (Fi, Bianca, Jodie & Kate) talking about it on twitter and was tempted. Then thought nah.

Can we just ignore that it's been months since I've posted here? Ok. Shannon does commissioned portraits so I figured it would be a great Christmas present to myself and Sondra. I gave her a vague brief about tail sucking... Continue reading

I've become obssessed with embroidering and cross stitch and crochet edging. Excuse the lack of ironing. See more. I want to crochet all edges of all things. I ripped my palm. I guess it's a crossfit rite of passage. You can't pee in peace, this is my pee buddy. See, cross stitch...

It's been a while since I've sewn a gift. I'm outta practice. These are a gift for a work colleague. She's a mean cook and loves read, so it was a given she's going to receive monkey mitts. This? This is a little peek at my Christmas food packaging this year. I love the button, it's made using...
